AJ stated that this is a unique tournament and wished Queensberry failure: «5 vs 5, Matchroom vs Queensberry. I think it's the first time something like this is happening in history. Watch the show tomorrow night on DAZN. Of course, I’m with Team Matchroom. Go. And yeah, Queensberry, get ready to lose. Cowards.»
